How to Create a Successful Golf Outing

By: Tenna Merchent on July 8th, 2011

Brian House of Tournament Promotions Midwest sits down with Blair Shadday to discuss the do’s and don’ts of a successful golf outing. Brian has a great deal of experience planning and executing golf outings. Some of our favorite tips were:

Start planning early, a year in advance is normal

Get your corporate sponsorship first

Recruit good board members, because they are pivotal to your success. For instance, each member should be responsible for recruiting for people who will bring a foursome to the outing.

Start everything on time, golf, lunch, dinner, entertainment, don’t give people a reason to leave.

Keep games, mulligans and such to a minimum, they slow play, and reduce the likelihood that players will stay for dinner.
